Notebook: I covered Pride Fest in Palm Coast’s Central Park on Saturday, for two hours anyway, before the heat and the Champions League final pushed me back to my desk. It really was a wonderful event, even if its normal culmination–the evening drag shows–was reversed, since DeSantis’s line-item totalitarianism now makes these performances illegal in public. Not for long: a court will strike down the law sooner or later. But for now it’s enough to cloud the air and take a little bit of the swing out of these events. So there may have been more purpose than variety, which wasn’t a bad thing. Reasserting a sense of being always helps in existential crises. It made me wonder: what if a group like the moms for bigotry, those rabid haters of all things non-white, non-hetero, non-frigid, non-moron, were to have their own “festival,” oxymoronic as the use of that term would be? Would we see Christy Chong and Will Furry tango to Ted Nugent (who’s at the Peabody on July 15, by the way)? Or blazing the night with a pyre of the books they managed to ban from our schools this year? Would we have an anti-woke pagent in blackface to the chants of they will not replace us? Would the moms and their parental rage writhe and swoon and ululate  to David Alan Coe’s underground records that, as the Times reported over two decades ago, “are among the most racist, misogynist, homophobic and obscene songs recorded by a popular songwriter,” then stand to weepy attention as somebody raises a flag to Johnny Rebel while burning rainbows? Probably. If that seems like an exaggeration, it rather seems to me an understatement in comparison with what these assassins of education and culture and parenting are accomplishing. Caricatures can’t keep up with reality.

—P.T.

At the San Francisco Women’s March early in 2017, a child held up a sign that read: “What do we want? Evidence-based science. When do we want it? After peer review.”

–From “What Does ‘Trust in the Media’ Mean?” by Michael Schudson, Daedalus, fall 2022.

    No kidding. The stunts Trump has pulled makes Watergate look like a Sunday picnic. Sadly, Trump’s followers simply don’t care what he has done.

    Republicans state going after Trump is strictly political.

    The question is: Is he guilty of crimes or not?
